3d.

Attended meeting in the forenoon. Sacrament day: I went to dine at Judge Dana's: soon
after I got there, he was taken ill, and thought it was with his old disorder. He
sent immediately to Boston, for Doctor Lloyd,1 and Dr. Danforth;2 and for Dr. Jennison at College. We rubb'd him with a flesh brush, and with blankets,
for two hours without intermission: he recover'd and the Physicians supposed this
attack was only the consequence of a cold which he has caught. It rain'd hard all
the afternoon, and evening. I remain'd at Mr. Dana's and lodg'd there.

1. Dr. James Lloyd, a popular and successful Boston physician trained in London, who
maintained strong loyalist sympathies and ties during the war as well as warm friends
among Boston whigs; his son James was one of JQA's classmates (Sibley-Shipton, Harvard Graduates, 12:184–193).

2. Dr. Samuel Danforth, another popular Boston physician, who also had maintained tory
views, albeit less outspoken, and served as president of the Massachusetts Medical
Society, 1795–1798 (same, 14:250–254).
